Tahoma Eviction Risk: Elevated

Running cool, court filing pressure reads 2.2/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.8/10. Housing insecurity runs 6.2% against 14.2% nationally.

At $1,653 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of Tahoma commands. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Nationally it ranks #14,906 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 24% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $120,156, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 49% of renters.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
